Are so many colours really necessary?

All ICELED light sources are capable of producing over 2 million colours for a very good reason - as well as the obvious amount of choice that this gives you, it also allows ICELED controllers to produce seamless effects of their own. Without this many colours available smooth sweeps and cross-fades would be impossible. Changes from one colour to another could only be made with visible steps. This would prohibit most of the unusual and dramatic effects that characterise ICELED installations.

As well as providing all the fully saturated colours in the visible spectrum ICELED light sources can also produce just as many de-saturated (whiter shades) which would otherwise be impossible without such a fine degree of control.
